A selection of world football's most talented youngsters aged 20 or under will descend upon France's south coast as the 2017 Toulon Tournament gets underway this Monday.
The fortnight-long, annual competition celebrates football's youth like no other tournament, and England return to the region hoping to defend their crown after ending a 22-year trophy drought in Toulon last year.
Three four-team groups will contend for the Toulon title in 2017, and although the double-booking of the 2017 FIFA Under-20 World Cup has weakened some squads, the field is brimming with quality nevertheless.
Among the frontrunners for this year's crown is home nation France, Group C contenders Brazil and the Three Lions, looking to clinch back-to-back triumphs in Toulon for the third time in their history.
